About St Breward Community Primary School

St Breward Community Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall, a local authority that contains 235 primary schools. It is not among the top-ranked schools in the area — its closest peers by ranking score are Calstock Community Primary School (92), Landewednack Community Primary School (91), and St Buryan Primary School (86) — but it serves a distinct role in its community. With just 42 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, the school is significantly undersubscribed, though it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 8 applications for 6 places and offering all 6 first-preference applicants a spot. The school is led by headteacher Kristian Buxton Dean and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision available. It has no religious character and is a mixed, non-boarding school. The most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in July 2025, awarded a Good rating across all graded areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a clear improvement from the previous inspection in February 2023, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall.
